Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Even if this were a well-timed photo I would just write it off as photoshopped. I'll never believe anything again.

[–]WwReptaRwW 6 points7 points ago

Everything cool is photoshopped. Always.

[–]Genkaki 7 points8 points ago

Even life

[–]WwReptaRwW 0 points1 point ago

Especially life

[–]OriginallyWhat 2 points3 points ago

Everything funny is faked. Always.

[–]AuRinBei 2 points3 points ago

Everything is a lie.

Cool photo: Shopped

Cool quote: Misquote (and inevitably miss attributed to Mark Twain)

Cool fact: Inaccurate

Cool rebuttal to inaccurate fact: Also inaccurate

[–]MrShow 12 points13 points ago

Yeah, another 40 minutes or so and that would have looked like a different shot kinda. The photographer would have missed out. Or he'd have had to take two steps to his left.

[–]byslexic 14 points15 points ago

Just gonna put it out there that this is a repost. I think it's original title had something to do with a photography teacher not wanting pictures of trees or clouds. Still a nice picture though.

[–]g0ing2f4st 6 points7 points ago

i think its been reposted a lot, still a nice picture though

[–]alpharaptor1 1 point2 points ago

reddit needs a 'greatest hits' wall to put this stuff on. if another repost like this comes along amd it's on 'the wall', the post should be removed.

[–]pinacoladaporfavor 1 point2 points ago

thank you. i now have a new wallpaper background :)

[–]wrongworlder 8 points9 points ago

My Girlfriend (username: karmadust) took this picture! It's a tree in Oregon, and she had to scramble to get the shot in time.

[–]karmadust 0 points1 point ago

No, I told you not to say anything since I don't have any proof!

[–]gun_hellsweek 1 point2 points ago

i (think i) remember seeing this picture in /p/ with exif data a long time ago, did you post it there or was it someone else?
(i could be wrong though)

[–]karmadust 1 point2 points ago

I posted it to the internet at one point, but it's an old picture, so it's been circulating for a long time, I'd imagine. I think it was taken maybe 5 years ago?

[–]wrongworlder -1 points0 points ago

TOO LATE!

[–]okmkz -1 points0 points ago

Upvote for Oregon on the front page.

[–]WhyNoKinTheFu 1 point2 points ago

That's a repost. YOUR KARMA IS A LIE!

[–]JustAWonderfulMan 1 point2 points ago

Checkmate, Atheists

[–]orcaphrasis 1 point2 points ago

Normal Tree: Giant Broccoli

This Tree: Giant Cauliflower

[–]Bridgemaster11 2 points3 points ago

on the other hand reddit seems to love the fuck out of this picture. 1000+ upvotes every time it's posted

[–]iloledinbed 0 points1 point ago

I came to reddit in search for THIS

[–]SomethingToDanceTo 0 points1 point ago

What do you mean? That tree is totally blocking an awesome shot of a cloud.

[–]janab2 0 points1 point ago

This is cool

[–]VikingCoder 0 points1 point ago

Holy fuck that tree is eating the sky!

[–]walkatnight 0 points1 point ago

Checkmate Atheists!

[–]I-hate-reposts 0 points1 point ago

Good repost!

Saw this with the caption proof of God the other day...

just wait until fall, it's gonna be a bitch.

[–]ProudAmerican54 0 points1 point ago

I don't know why this has to be a photoshop. It's also not good timing. All you'd have to do is position yourself in the right spot to get the correct angle for the two things to line up. Pretty simple.

[–]ativa 0 points1 point ago

How can you look at this photo and not see God? [sic]

[–]47h3157 0 points1 point ago

monsanto finally created that cotton/oak hybrid they've been working on.

Both the picture and your comment reminded me of this.

Yes! My cauliflower tree is growing!

[–]sandyagolove 0 points1 point ago

Very nice shot ,.it looks like cottons on a tree LOVE IT

[–]HamburgerU 0 points1 point ago

DAT COMPRESSION

[–]headsniffer 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone else feel like the cloud slightly moves when they look at the picture?

[–]baddboi 0 points1 point ago

Thx for the repost....

[–]Lafingas -1 points0 points ago

It's called photoshop.

[–]weinmatthew -2 points-1 points ago

this picture is amazing!

[–]medicrow -3 points-2 points ago

Impeccable. Did you take this?

[–]Zero_of_Potential[S] 0 points1 point ago

No, wish I did this. And on that note, if anybody can find who did that'd be great.

[–]WhatTheFlux1 8 points9 points ago

It's also a repost.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

Am I missing something? Clouds do not move overly quickly.

[–]Zero_of_Potential[S] 1 point2 points ago

I meant it in a time-and-place sort of way. Maybe a poor choice of words in retrospect.

[–]Zelotic -3 points-2 points ago

Send the niggers out into the fields. It's cotton pickin' time.

[–]TotalCreep -1 points0 points ago

Oh man, this gave me chills. The one time I saw this happen the tree was massive. It was on my street a couple houses down from my own. I rarely noticed. The very next day after seeing this, the tree fell during a storm. It made it that more amazing.

[–]rahtin -1 points0 points ago

Cloood. Make a tree shape cloooood.

[–]Phasechange -1 points0 points ago

Timing my ass! I bet you waited and drove around for hours trying to get this!

[–]dunnowins -2 points-1 points ago

As far as I can tell, that tree isn't headed anywhere in a hurry. And judging by how clear the sky is I'm gonna guess neither is the cloud.
